setting polygon points

I've put the following code into a button's script:

on mouseUp
put "100,100,200,200,100,500" into myPoints
set the points of graphic "myPoly" to myPoints
end mouseUp

There is of course a polygon on the same card named "myPoints"

But when I click on the button, nothing happens.

What is up???

Hi Randall,

try this:
...
put "100,100" & CR & "200,200" & CR & "100,500" into myPoints
...
If in doubt, ALWAYS consult the dictionary first!

Best

Klaus

I tried that. But without the space characters between. Didn't work. The dictionary says that you can "set" points from comma delineated lists... but "put" points always returns lines of x,y pairs.

Commas used to work but somewhere along the line I read they stopped working. At any rate, I assume that "myPoints" is a typo and the name of the graphic is really "myPoly", right?
